Even worst scenario at Japan NPPs not threaten RF Far East(adds).
NOVO-OGAREVO, March 15 (Itar-Tass) - Even the worst scenario at the nuclear power plants in Japan does not pose any threat to Russia's Far East, the chief of the Russian state nuclear power corporation Rosatom Sergei Kiriyenko said at a meeting with Prime Minister Vladimir Putin here on Tuesday. Putin headed the meeting, which discussed the impact of the crashes at the Japanese nuclear power plants on Russia's Far East.
"If the worst scenario of radiation emissions coincides with the worst wind situation no threat exists for Russia's Far East," Kiriyenko said, offering his own scenario based on the Japanese reports and Russian expert estimates.
He also noted that "no nuclear blast threat exists at the Fukushima-1 nuclear power plant."
Putin demanded from Rosatom to analyze Russia's plans to build nuclear power plants within a month over the tragic events in Japan. "I instruct the Energy Ministry, Rosatom and the Ministry of Natural Resources to analyze the current state of the Russian nuclear industry and the development plans and to pass the results in the government within a month," Putin said.
The prime minister also proposed to speed up the projects for
hydrocarbon production in the Russian Far East, including the Sakhalin-3 project, for larger supplies to Japan.
"The power generation capacity will be obviously falling for a long time and I ask to consider how to speed up the development of the
hydrocarbon production projects, primarily the gas production, in the
Russian Far East, including the Sakhalin-3 project," Putin said to the
participants in the meeting. "Let's think about it to be done through your own efforts with the foreign investors attracted and let's make the proposals to this effect," he added.
"The South Stream gas project should be accelerated taking into
account larger gas supplies to Europe, and the Nord Stream project should be developed rapidly," he said.
